Sam 37
1 Kathutkung: Devit Thoenae kasaknaw kecu dawk lungmathoe hoi awm hanh awh. Payonnae kasaknaw hai ut awh hanh.
By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, phokahring patetlah palang kamyai awh vaiteh, anhna kahring patetlah palang a due awh han.
For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.
3 BAWIPA kâuep nateh, hawinae hah sak haw. Ram thung awm nateh, yuemkamcunae hah hringkhaih.
Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
4 BAWIPA dawk konawm haw. Na lungngai e hah na poe han.
And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.
5 Na lamthung hah BAWIPA koe poe haw, ama kâuep haw, ama ni a sak han.
Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,
6 Na lannae teh angnae patetlah tâcawt sak vaiteh, na kângingnae hah kanîthun patetlah ao sak han.
And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
8 Na lungphuen sak hanh, lungkhueknae cettakhai haw. Lungmathoe hoi awm hanh. Hot ni teh, hawihoehnae koe doeh na hrawi.
Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.
9 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, thoenae kasaknaw teh, raphoe lah ao awh han. Hatei, BAWIPA ka ngaihawi e naw ni, talai heh râw lah a coe awh han.
For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.
10 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathoutnaw teh dongdengca dawk awm awh mahoeh toe. Bokheiyah, a onae hmuen koe kahawicalah na tawng han, hatei, awm mahoeh toe.
And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.
11 Hatei, a lungkanem e ni talai râw a coe vaiteh, kapap e roumnae dawk a lunghawi awh han.
And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
12 Tamikathout ni tamikalan a youk teh, a hâkam a kata sin.
The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
13 Hatei, Bawipa ni tamikathout teh a panui sin. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae hnin ka tho hane hah a panue.
The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
14 Mathoe hoi kavoutthoupnaw kamlei sak hane hoi, kalan lah kahringnaw thei hanelah, tamikathoutnaw ni amamae tahloi sut a rayu awh teh, licung sut a sawn awh toe.
A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
15 Hatei, amamae tahloi teh amamae lung dawk kâen vaiteh, ahnimae licung teh khoe lah ao han.
Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.
16 Tamikathout ni tawnta e hlak, tamikalan ni younca a tawn e ahawihnawn.
Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
17 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathout e kut teh khoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikalan e kut teh BAWIPA ni a kabawp han.
For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.
18 BAWIPA ni tamikalannaw e hnin a panue pouh teh, a coe awh e râw teh a yungyoe kangning e doeh.
Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is — to the age.
19 Ahnimouh teh, atueng mathoe nahaiyah, yeirai phawt awh mahoeh. Takang tue nahaiyah, a von a paha awh han.
They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
21 Tamikathout niteh, a cawi e patho hoeh toe. Hatei, tamikalan niteh, a pahren teh a poe.
The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
22 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, yawhawi poe lah kaawmnaw ni talai râw a coe awh han. Thoebo lah kaawmnaw teh raphoe lah ao awh han.
For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
23 Tamikalannaw e khoktabei teh BAWIPA ni a caksak teh, a ceinae lamthung hah a ngai pouh.
From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.
24 A tâlaw nakunghai, poutnae koe phat mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut a kuet pouh.
When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.
25 Thoundoun lah ka o teh ka matawng toe. Tamikalan ceitakhai e ka hmawt boihoeh. A ca catounnaw kutdaw lah ao e ka hmawt boihoeh.
Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.

Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.
30 Tamikalan e pahni ni lungangnae lawk a dei teh, a lai ni kângingnae hah a pâpho.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.
31 A Cathut e kâlawk teh a lungthin thung ao dawkvah, a cei toteh tâlaw mahoeh.
The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
32 Tamikathout ni tamikalan a pawp teh, thei hanelah ouk a tawng.
The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
33 Hatei, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut dawk tamikalan hah tâkhawng mahoeh. Lawkceng lah ao nakunghai yonpen lah awm mahoeh.
Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.

Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off — thou seest!
35 Tamikathout hoi tamitongthoenaw teh, ung e thingkung patetlah, hluthlut a naw awh e hah ka hmu toe.
I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
36 Hatei, a due teh, khenhaw! ahni teh awm hoeh toe. Bokheiyah, ka tawng eiteh, hmu hane awm hoeh toe.
And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
37 Kuepnae hah pouk nateh, lannae hah lueplueppouk haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmâ lah a coe hane teh, lungmawngnae doeh.
Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.

And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
39 Tamikalan rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA koehoi doeh. Ahni teh runae tueng nah kânguenae im doeh.
And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
40 BAWIPA ni kabawm vaiteh, a rungngang han. Ama a kâuep dawkvah, tamikathoutnaw thung hoi a rasa teh ouk a rungngang.
And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
